Xie Changqing was held back by Xie Hu. Xie Changqing watched Wen Wan copying the recipe from memory, and Xie Changlin couldn't bear it any longer.

It’s not because I feel sorry for Zhang Lan, but because Zhang Lan is in a bad mood when working and works as slowly as a snail. If she continues like this, she may not even be able to eat in the middle of the night.

"Let me help my sister-in-law! She's too slow. I'm almost starving."

Wen Wan stopped him and said, "If you're hungry, just eat a few cookies.

If she works until midnight, we will eat in the early morning of the first day of the new year. We can’t run away from the meal, so there’s no need to rush.”

It's her job to do the work, and if she gets what she wants, she'll act emotionally. Who is she trying to scare?

"This..." Xie Changlin's eyes moved between Wen Wan and Xie Changqing's faces, "This isn't good!"

Wen Wan said: “There’s nothing wrong with it.

Everyone was working together and would have finished the job in a short while, but she insisted on jumping out to cause trouble.

It's her own fault, and we have no obligation to clean up the mess."

She is conscious and likes to work, so let her work as much as she wants. Anyway, Wen Wan has no consciousness and can't do anything.

In the end, it was finished quickly because Feng Yuying urged it twice in a bad mood.

"It's just a small job, but you can't finish it, right?"

"New Year's Eve dinner, New Year's Eve dinner, it's eaten on the night of the 30th. Are you trying to make us eat it on the first day of the new year?

It’s unlucky, understand?”

……

After the ingredients were prepared, Wen Wan asked Xie Changqing to put both pots on the fire, one pot for braised pork head and the other for stewed pork ribs.

He also asked Xie Changlin to build a temporary stove with bricks in the yard, boil a pot of hot water, and put the cooked dishes in a steamer to keep them warm.

Several people worked together to prepare a table of dishes in two hours, including fish, meat, soup, braised dishes, and stir-fried dishes...

In addition to the family sitting together to eat and drink at the New Year’s Eve dinner, another important task is to summarize the past year and look forward to the new year.

Xie Hu started by praising the eldest and third brothers for their well-run workshops and hoped that they would continue to make good progress in the new year.

Unexpectedly, Xie Changlin said directly, "The workshop will not be open next year."

"Okay, why don't you do it?" Xie Hu was a little unhappy.

“We can make money this year because there is no one competing with us. Everyone sees us making money this year, so they will definitely follow suit next year.

When more people do it, it’s easy for price competition to occur, and it’s exhausting if you can’t sell at a good price.”

"What's your logic?" Xie Hu said he couldn't understand, "Which production team nearby doesn't plant two crops of rice and one crop of wheat this year, and continue planting next year.

Do you think anyone has changed to planting something else?

Young people have no perseverance in doing things, you must continue to work for me next year."

Xie Changlin opened his mouth to explain, but felt that his explanation was not going to make sense, so he simply said, "I can't do it!"

"You..." Xie Hu rarely saw Xie Changlin being so disobedient. He guessed that Wen Wan had instigated him, and immediately said in a bad mood: "Second brother's wife, did you teach him this?"

"Yeah!" Wen Wan picked up a piece of fried fish with disapproval.

"What do women know? You have corrupted a good child."

Seeing that she didn't care at all, Xie Hu wanted to scold her a few more words, but before he could open his mouth, he met Xie Changqing's cold gaze and had to shut up.

Xie Changlin said with a smile: "Almost everything about the workshop was taught by my second sister-in-law, and the facts prove that he was right."

Xie Changshan also said: "Yes! The second son's wife has read a lot of books and knows a lot."

Seeing that the remaining two sons were also brainwashed by Wen Wan, Xie Hu was so angry that he really wanted to overturn the table, but for the sake of the New Year, he gritted his teeth and endured it.

"Studying is useless. I have never been to school, but I am still a good farmer and I have raised you brothers.

I have eaten more salt than you have eaten rice, so if I say keep going, then keep going."

Xie Changlin was speechless. "Okay! If you want to continue, then continue. I'm not going to do it anymore anyway."

After hearing this, Zhang Lan's eyes lit up instantly. She didn't expect to have such an unexpected gain. It turned out that God would not let down any poor person.

Zhang Lan said: "Dad, if the third child doesn't want to do it, forget it, he is still studying!

Do you think this is okay? The boss and I will run the workshop together, and we promise to give all the money we earn back home."

Do you give all the money you earn to your family?

Wen Wan would not believe a word she said. With Zhang Lan's money-loving personality, how could she possibly hand over the money she earned to her family? She was saying this just to get the workshop.

What she was thinking was that the old couple didn't understand, so she could just say that she didn't make any money. They wouldn't be able to check the accounts.

Xie Hu glanced at Xie Changqing, and seeing that he had no unusual expression, he said, "Okay, then I'll leave it to you and the boss.

But you must do it well and make a lot of money. "

Wen Wan just found it funny. For someone like Zhang Lan who was only good at calculating small accounts and had no great wisdom and had never done business before, it was good enough for her not to lose money, and she even made a lot of money. That was really a bold idea.

Anyway, she had already received all the money she was entitled to, and the workshop didn't have any machines, so it didn't matter who she worked for. She just had to focus on eating.

But I didn't expect that while eating, I would end up eating the food on my head.

Feng Yuying called out by name, "Second son's wife! You've been married for more than half a year, why is there no sign of pregnancy?

After the New Year, let your second son take you to the town hospital. If that doesn’t work, ask the old doctor to treat you.

You should have children while you are young. You can afford to wait while you are still young, but our second child cannot afford to delay at this age. He has grown up with us, and the second child can walk now. You should hurry up too!"

Unexpectedly, she was forced to give birth at the age of 19. Wen Wan suddenly felt that the rice in the bowl was no longer delicious. She was about to say that she would not consider it for the time being, but Xie Changqing answered for her.

“I’m not planning on having kids.”

As soon as he said this, everyone at the table stopped what they were doing and looked at him with expressions of surprise.

It is not difficult to understand that the purpose of people's life in this era is to get married, have children and continue the family line. It is shocking to suddenly hear that they are not planning to have children.

The shock was no less than hearing someone in later generations say, "I don't plan to live anymore."

Feng Yuying thought back to the previous times when she had arranged marriages for him, and how he always made excuses and refused to do so. A bad idea immediately came to her mind.

I'm afraid he might have health problems because he was injured while serving in the army, right?

But I can't say this in front of so many people.

I was thinking of changing the subject first and asking him in private later, but I didn't expect Xie Hu to speak.

"Who doesn't plan to have a baby? Are you being honest with your ancestors by saying this?"

Xie Changqing spoke nonsense calmly: "The ancestors agreed."

"Did your ancestors agree?" Xie Hu thought he was ridiculous. "Your ancestors are buried down there? And you said your ancestors agreed. What a joke."

"My ancestors agreed in my dreams."

Xie Hu rolled his eyes and said, "You really dare to make up such nonsense."

Xie Changqing looked at Xie Hu sharply, “Since you don’t believe in your ancestors, you think it’s a made-up joke.

Then why do you want to use my ancestors to pressure me?"

"..." Xie Hu was choked and speechless.

"You don't believe in ancestors, but you keep saying you want to pass on your family line. Isn't that ridiculous and contradictory?"

Xie Hu drank a large glass of wine angrily. The world has really changed. One by one, they are undisciplined. Not only that, but they also try to intimidate him one after another.

Being a father like this is better than being dead.

After dinner, Wen Wan finally couldn't help but ask Xie Changqing out of curiosity, "Is what you just said at the dinner table true?"

"Which one?"

"You're not planning on having kids, are you?"

Xie Changqing raised his eyebrows and said as if it was a matter of course: "Didn't you say so? Didn't we agree a long time ago that you don't want to have children?"
